Victoriano Huerta and Venustiano Carranza.
Victoriano Huerta
Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) was such rival.
Yes Mexico did have three presidents in one day. The President, Vice President, and the Attorney general were all forced to resign by General Huerta and his men. On February 22 the president was Francisco Madero, the vice president Jose Maria Pino Suarez were all murdered by Huerta.
General Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) qualifies as such. He co-conspirated with the American ambassador in Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, to assassinate Madero and his Vice-President, Jose Maria Pino Suarez.
Victoriano Huerta (1850-1916) was a Mexican general who co-conspirated with the American ambassador in Mexico to stage a coup d'etat against Mexican president Francisco Madero. The assassination of Madero and his vice president Jose Maria Pino Suarez on Huerta's orders in 1913, triggered the second stage of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). He became a dictator until he was forced out of the country on October of 1914. He tried to regain control of Mexico with German support, but was captured with conspiracy charges in the U.S. twice. He died in prison in January 14, 1916.
In fact it was US ambassador in Mexico Henry Lane Wilson who plotted and ultimately succeeded along Victoriano Huerta to assassinate Madero. Just as it has been the case on many countries where 'regime change' has taken place such as Chile, Iraq, Guatemala or the Philippines, it happened because 'economic interests' were endangered.
At times he was a general and president of Mexico.
